Serve Washington and RSVP: Oversight for the Volunteer Generation Funds comes from the Serve Washington, an independent, bipartisan commission appointed by the Governor who serve for three year terms. The Commission implements AmeriCorps, AmeriCorps Vista, Senior Corps and the Volunteer Generation Fund in Washington; sets priorities for results-oriented community service programs; provides training and technical assistance; evaluates programs; and leverages federal program dollars with additional local, state and private sector resources. .

Several of the volunteer centers are co-located with a Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), which connects volunteers age 55 or over. For more information, Click Here.

Nonprofit leaders from across Washington have long acknowledged the need for a statewide nonprofit association that could provide a voice for the more than 50,000 nonprofits in our state. A state association would provide Washington’s nonprofit sector with better representation in state and federal policy decisions, improved access to programs and funds, and access to services and programs to build their capacity.
